An Essex Wedding - Jan/Feb 2020 (Issue 90)

6 I almost can’t believe I’m saying this, but you’re holding in your hands the 90 th issue of An Essex Wedding ! The first title in the County Wedding Magazines portfolio, we’ve gone from strength to strength over the years and we’re still passionate (ahem, obsessed) about the wedding industry in this beautiful county of ours. I love the diversity our region offers from glamorous to rustic and contemporary to historic; we’ve seen every type of big day grace these pages over the last 15 years. We’ve got such a treat for you this issue. Our incredible real weddings (starting on page 40) will be a brilliant source of inspiration for those of you who have a shiny new rock on your finger after Christmas Day! And don’t forget to check out our styled shoots (pages 63 and 95) when sourcing super- talented suppliers for your big day. Just to pre-warn you, our photography feature (page 67) is showcasing all the emotions of weddings – so get the tissues ready! I’ll just take this opportunity to thank all the incredible couples and suppliers who we’ve worked with over the last decade and a half – here’s to the next 15 years of An Essex Wedding!
